Legends of demonic beings called Nari come from eastern Europe. The Slavic
myth associates them with the souls of dead children, while the Bulgarian
version envisions them in the shape of birds. Their childlike appearance hides
a vicious, badger-like hostility that is only apparent when in close proximity
to a flock. Their resemblance to human children is suspected to be an
evolutionary development designed to lull their primary food source into a
false sens of security, allowing the Nari to get close enough to deliver a
fatal slash with their talons. Nari also have a spectacular defense mechanism:
